Nevermind
Its just Illinois
False alarm
wew
almost shit myself
CUCK
@malioswa do you live in suburban Chicago by change?
Here is this. I wonder what will happen if Democrats kill the bill
I think that's Trump's plan. Let it die, and let the blame go to the democrats for refusing to compromise, and the base will be satisfied at the fact that no gun control was passed
Wow!
Trump's approval is 48-49 according to Zogby
I haven't heard about Zogby in years
for some reason
I think the founder is right.
Real 3D Chess.
4D chess analogies annoy me
they're pure speculation
True, most people don't actually make logical justifications for them.
They just go muh 4D Chess
and they leave it at that (partially because few of us are anywhere near as intelligent as Trump)
Plus we can make speculation based on public info but the fact is Trump isn't spending any time looking up that sort of stuff
wew,
Trump is putting in place new tariffs,
**25%** on steel imports,
Excellent.
**10%** on aluminum.
Good.
big win for the American worker in the Rust Belt
Hopefully there will be less Japanese steel demand, and more Japanese working on ramping up anime production.
Animes about Japanese steel production
I would be completely fine with Japan promoting Japanese steel with glorious anime.
my reasoning is that Trump is savvy enough to know that talking about how he wants to pass gun control will rile his base against him and therefore make them care more, which leads to them being more likely to vote in the midterms
RIP
this is the guy who mailed white powder to Trump Jr
Yep, I think Trump probably was just having some wishful thinking when he endorsed Gillespie; he wanted a Senator when he endorsed Moore; he probably made a political deal when he endorsed Strange.
Endorsing Strange is ultimately why Moore couldn't get elected, though.
The tarrifs will be great for Trump in that district in Northern Minnesota.
It used to have a ton of steel jobs.
We definitely needed to have some protectionism
It's really the ultimate sign of america first, Trump needs to bring the jobs back to those who voted for him and to redden up Minnesota.
tariffs help the Rust Belt vote for sure,
it will be important to shill the tariffs among Midwesterners
i'm going to include that as a question in my survey
Being 21 is fake and gay to buy any gun
u gay nigga
Shush califag
Agreed.
wow rood
18 is good but now Hannity et al are going further and even saying parents shouldn't allow their kids to use guns if they're under 21.
i'm not like all the other champagne socialists from the bay area
The legal gun purchasing age is only a purchasing age, of course--you can still get hunting licenses etc. in many states as a 10 year old or 12 year old.
i'm a Christian, nuclear family man, the last of my kind here
#NotAllCalifornians
But when you're 18, you have a serious and legitimate need for guns for self-defense purposes; just because your parents won't buy you a gun doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to have one.
Unlike alcohol, guns have actual usefulness and purpose. Booze and marijuana do not.
That said with so many ages going back to 21, I believe that the voting age should go back to 21 before the gun age should go there.
what's the appeal in drinking
Dunno, I've heard it's a social activity from people I know who drink.
But I'm not into it myself
stop drinking and have white babies, cuck-o
Indeed!
@๐Boo-ton๐ I went to an Orange County fair once when I went in holiday in America back last year in August 2017
It was great
Food was expensive tho
sad part was my feet hurt like hell because I wasnt used to the American distances
you had to walk for quite a while in some places
Hannity is a nigger for supporting that bs
What bs ?
gun control?
Yea
!!!
About half of swing state voters surveyed said they were willing to pay more for cars if that helped the U.S. steel and automotive industries.
Yes
if the most pro-Trump areas in the country were independent
>southwest TX
wut
The reason why Im so against Democrats is that they'll turn on Asians next after white males.
Then, hispanics and finally African American males.
Its all divide and conquer
@Kevin This is actually true. They are already turning on Asians. They were turning on White Women HARD after the election but after Alabama they stopped. Look at how to that they don't bother much with Hispanics now that they didn't come out in mass to vote against Trump
Also Asian Americans are really discriminated against badly during college admission
Exactly
Affirmative action is why I decided to go against the Dems
Its only a vote buying scheme in which they secure the Black and Latino vote
plus to train future Democrat activists as a thank you from them
@Kevin Pretty much. What ended my support for The Dems was that I started getting heavily red pilled about African Anti-White Racism in The Democratic Party. As well as the blatant Corruption. They sure as fuck don't give a shit about "The Little Guy" so long as they can atomize & undermine him.
I feel like Asians in general aren't keen on being kept as "Pets" like Blacks usually are. Like you can't have an aspirational lifestyle with a victim mentality and Asians are usually more ambitious and successful. Like I said before on here I think Asians will be a very reliable Republican voting block in about 20 years
Like I don't know what the Dems could offer Asians
Their communities are as self sufficient as Whites
Asians are proud.
If they try to pull asian guilt or asian privilege that would turn multiple asian communities against them
So I feel like the gun grab is changing things. Like the Right has really gotten motivated all of a sudden.
@Den Good!
About time.
Also I am getting a Stripped Mauser Action & getting it converted for .300 Win Mag.
Let them try. The can take them from my cold dead hands those filthy statists
And seeing what "Mil-Spec" type features I can add.
I know I want the barrel free floated & the scope to be over the action.
Not a bad thing tbh
I had no school today
Lots of snow
Plus I like how a Mauser Action has "Cock On Open". Which allows me to retain sight picture while cycling.
Gotta love mausers
Just that I want a 3.5 lb trigger pull.
@Linkueigman Yup. Can take a special 9mm Rifle Round.
Since the 3rd locking lug allows it to take high powered Rifle ammo.
Makes me wanna get an M1A and see what I can do to improve upon it
Make a modern battle rifle out of it
Maybe see if I can amalgamate the Mauser Bolt and other parts w/ a set of P17 Winchester Parts.
All in .300 Win Mag.
Oof
Then just get a good & sturdy Polymer Stock. Presto!
I am partial to the 6.5 creed myself
Eh I think .300 is good enough. Heard good things about 6.5 Grendel.
As well as 6.5 Creed.
@Linkueigman ALSO I can probably even modify a proprietary 10 rd SMLE Mag to take .300 Win Mag.
REEEEEEEEE
Wtf!
"Give power to the rich and powerful! They always need to control all the power since they are rich!"
t. socalist
Have you spoken to other Conservatives about the General state of "Liberals"? I have noticed that there has been a big increase in Silent Anger directed towards them. Like I think Conservatives are getting as pissed as Liberals are.
They are, I notice passive-aggreaaive comments when you ask until they know the people they are speaking to hates Liberals as well, then they complain normally; but not at the rate liberals spew their toxic liberal hate
Yeah. It's like Conservative have been mostly silenced on Social Media but if you bring anything up in private you can see the rage.
Oh yea it happens all the time
lmao
i got invited to another server that's like this
called "Red Tsunami"
wtf
What's it like
it looks like this one almost
but less people
Have they really been active since 2014 or is that just a default thing?
Ask then if they would rather join us
How many people do we have now?
@Den We currently have 130 members
@๐Boo-ton๐ by the way, you should post your announcements and information about special elections on /r/The_Donald and /r/The_Congress
no use preaching to 130 people spread out over a country of 330 million
in terms of voting power, this group is a speck of dust
in terms of ability to influence through the Internet, on the other hand..............
Good to be decentralized.
I don't particularly care; they are a good resource.
@Den How was your scouting mission in PA-18?
there's a final debate at 7pm tonight
oddly enough,
according this poll that gives Lamb +1,
Trump's approval here is +6
nationwide?
in the district
Parkland shooting survivors raising money for Democrats in the midterms
Florida Senate: +3.8 (D)
ND Senate: +3 (D)
Utah Senate: +46 (R)
hmm
looks like a particularly rigged poll for the D's
Rough times atm, they're trying to squeeze this parkland thing for all it's worth
I don't think that'll work out for them
!!!
THE POLLSTER IS FAKE NEWS
DISCARD THE POLL
DISCARD THE POLL @Deleted User @FLanon
lmao
What'd you find out
yeah, I saw a comment on PredictIt saying it's a BS poll
That's the first time you've used those exclamation marks without bad news behind it
Well, that's good, then.
I hope this GOP recovery comes sharp, the news about steel/aluminum should help a bit
>we do not need to prove ourselves to anyone
umm, yes you do?
Polls are kinda worthless if they're made up
i feel weird
i actually feel optimistic
not normal
I think that's good, let it motivate you
Keep your wits about you, but let the energy drive you to do some good work.
Yes
I feel better after the recent bad news
The blackpill is starting to wear off
I didn't go to the rural areas BUT I actually had lunch with someone working on a PA wide political campaign!!! There is good news and Bad news. The person said that Rick may lose. BUT he said the fundamentals of Pa overall are moving very rapidly towards Republicans. It appears that the Democrat Base isn't as motivated as it would appear. It's just a small group. The problem in Pa for Republicans is voter apathy especially with the redistricting. In the case of Saccone the redistricting apathy really hurts him since it will be such a low turnout election, The upcoming Pa Senator and Governor Election will be very critical. The state is going through realignment. If that is the case that is great news since it will be much easier for Republicans to win the Presidency if Pa is light red
Democrats HAVE to keep the governship or it will be a very critical blow to them
Thanks for the info
Useful stuff
I don't want to say who he was working for because I don't want to dox myself.
@Den Is there a day when you can visit the rural areas
can you say if he was working for the Dems
LOL! No he isn't working for the Dems. I don't break bread with heathens
Fucking Unclean!!!!!
lel
Did he give any reasons for why Rick might lose?
The suppressed turnout from the redistricting combined with the fact that it's low turnout overall and there is a small percentage of Dems that are highly motivated. That is all it takes in these special elections. If Lamb wins though he WILL lose in November
Lamb isnt a bad guy tho compared to other Dems
this is true,
the way PA is redrawn, Lamb would lose in Nov
_if_ he wins this month
The problem is that I think it will help motivate Dems like Alabama did. Fucking Brannon really did a ton of damage with the loss of that seat.
If Strangw would have gotten that nominee the Dems would have lost and lost a ton of momentum.
@Den it hasn't even been redistrict'd yet though
But people aren't voting if they don't even know what district they will be in a few months.
@Den I wouldn't blame Bannon
I'd blame McConnell and the GOPe
hashtagdontblamethevictim
Any GOP Senator from Alabama would have supported Trump 95% of the time. Moore was way too divisive. He barely won his SCOTUS seat which is pathetic in Alabama
Strange would have been fine
I'm still wondering why people think Bannon is responsible for Moore winning in the primaries
Well he backed him. Also a lot of people say that Brannon was leaking stuff about Moore to the media after he won the Primary
But who knows if it's true
People had this perception that Bannon was trying to make Trump's electoral agenda better outside the white house, and that Moore was part of that. After Moore lost and Trump publicly bashed Bannon, it became apparent that wasn't the case.
I think Moore would still have won the primaries without Bannon's endorsement
Yeah I think Bannon really spread the false message that the GOP was trying to undermine Trump. It was untue but if it wasn't for traitors who sunk Obamacare repel like McCain the idea would not have found traction. Plenty of blame to go around
It wasn't just Bannon.
isn't the GOP trying to undermine him though?
yeah, GOP senators and congressmen seem to vote with him frequently enough
but during the 2016 election they pulled all sorts of BS to try to sabotage Trump
Yeah but now that he gave them the Rust Belt it's not advantageous to them. They thought he would lose. Look at the scotes
The problem is they have too few numbers in the Senate
here's the thing I noticed,
in the last 4 midterm elections,
(all of them)
the party that was leading in the generic ballot never won by the projected margin
for instance,
in 2014,
Republicans outperformed the generic ballot by 3.3 points,
before that, Republicans underperformed by 2.6 points,
before that, Democrats won but underperformed by 3.6 points,
before that, Democrats over-performed by 2.9 points
this means that in reality,
Democrats could be leading by 9-10 points in the generic ballot and still not take the house,
because they need to win 7-8 points in the popular vote to flip the house,
so when adjusted with that 2.9-3.6 margin of error, being as high as 10 could not mean much, but being higher than 10 could be troubling
It's really not just keeping the house, which is important nonetheless, but winning it with at least 230 seats
We don't want it to be too close
so, to get it straight
2014: Republicans overperofrming by 3.3
2010: Republicans underperforming by 2.6
2006: Democrats underperforming by 3.6
2002: Democrats overpeforming by 2.9
?
correct
keep in mind that in 2002, the GOP actually made gains
although I wouldn't be surprised if polling methodology has changed since then
